QuickBooks®
Accounting Software

QuickBooks® accounting software
is the most user friendly and economical accounting system on the
market today. This software is ideal for small businesses with under 50
employees and annual revenues of less than five million dollars. You do
the majority of your bookkeeping as you write checks and record
receipts on a daily basis. With QuickBooks® you know if you’re
making or losing money instantly. There’s no need to understand
accounting jargon like debits, credits or postings.

As a small business person, we
understand your internal and external reporting needs. Whether you’re
seeking quarterly or annual tax reports, interim financial statements
for the bank or a listing of bills to be paid, we can take your
QuickBooks® data and make any necessary adjustments to prepare the
reports you need. If you prefer to produce your reports in-house, we
can make sure QuickBooks® is set up to produce the information you
desire.

Frequently asked
questions about QuickBooks®

Will
QuickBooks® do payroll for me?
Yes. Once you set up your pay categories, deductions and employee W-4
information, payroll is as simple as entering the hours worked.
QuickBooks® calculates the deductions, prints the paychecks and
summarizes your payroll information automatically. There are various
payroll reports which you can run to determine payroll tax liabilities
and QuickBooks® will even print your quarterly Form 941 and annual
Forms 940 and W-2s.

Will
QuickBooks® pay my bills?
Yes. Entering your bills is so easy and it allows you to sort your
bills by due date or vendor to help you decide who to pay first.
Accounts payable reports, like all other QuickBooks® reports, are
available with the click of your mouse and can be created for any date
you choose. Once your vendor information is entered, vendor names and
addresses will print on the checks, enabling you to use window
envelopes rather than writing out or typing envelopes. QuickBooks®
will also print 1099s at the end of year for those vendors you
designate as required to receive 1099s.

Will
QuickBooks® keep my checkbook up-to-date?
Yes. Provided you enter your transactions on a daily basis, your bank
balances will automatically be updated after each transaction.
QuickBooks® also has a reconciliation feature that saves time compared
to reconciling your bank statement manually each month.
